Writing for Interactive Media Forum

The goal of this forum is to develop a practical understanding of the evolution of text in the digital age. The editorial side of new media development is often overlooked, but we should be spending at least as much time worrying about the words as tweaking the pretty GIFs.

Describe your experiences in writing (and reading) interactive publications.
Point out examples of very good writing on the web.
Discuss the editorial management issues in new media.
For background on this discussion, see:
Writing for the Web,
The Content Clich�,
Tempting the Click,
Ideas Drive Interactive Marketing,
the slides from the Writing for the Web seminar,
and the GRLab Note Writing for Interactive Media.

Writing for Interactive Media is a special interest forum focusing on creative editorial issues. For other perspectives, see the
Interactive Values Forum on management and finance subjects, and
The EP Diary Forum covering topics of more general interest.
